Freude wirbelt in den Lüften|Gesänge für 4 Singstimmen, Op.110 by Leonhard von Call — Lyrics
1. Freude wirbelt in den Lüften,
Wonne lächelt auf der Flur,
und in balsamreichen Düften
haucht Entzücken die Natur.
2. Linde Abendlüfte wallen
durch der Bäume sanftes Grün,
tändeln von den Blumen allen
zu der Rose Busen hin.

About Freude wirbelt in den Lüften|Gesänge für 4 Singstimmen, Op.110
Leonhard von Call's Gesänge für 4 Singstimmen, Op.110, features the celebratory German text Freude wirbelt in den Lüften. This is a secular four-part setting for TTBB voices, typical of the genre of German partsong. The text paints a picture of nature in springtime, with joy in the air, smiling meadows, fragrant breezes, and playful love. It moves from general descriptions of nature's awakening to more specific scenes of moonlit gardens and youthful romance. The music would reflect these images of lightheartedness and burgeoning affection. The four-part texture allows for rich harmonies and imitative writing to depict the various elements of the poem.
